Accounts Payable · Manage Supplier Relationships on Solid Ground

A purchase inbound generates a payable, tracked against contract terms by payment milestone. Missing a payment = damaged credit + weaker future bargaining power. SBK sorts all payable vouchers by due date, makes the payment calendar crystal clear, and keeps you on top of how every dollar is spent, to whom, and when.

Inbound Generates a Payable, Keeping Books and Business in Sync

At many companies, finance back-fills payables at every month-end, leaving the books a month or two behind the actual business. SBK generates the payable voucher the moment a purchase inbound is approved, with terms, due date and linked documents all in place.

  • Inbound approval → payable voucher generated automatically (1:1 mapping)
  • Expense voucher approval → payable voucher generated automatically
  • Contract terms applied automatically, with accurate due-date calculation
  • Linked purchase order / inbound order / expense voucher traceable in one click

  • 30 / 60 / 90-day rolling payment calendar
  • Large payments highlighted, funds arranged ahead of time
  • Supports batch payment: clear multiple vouchers at once
  • Payment slips linked many-to-many with payable vouchers
Use Cases

Payable Management Cadence for Different Businesses

Wholesalers on Net 30

All suppliers on net 30 — issue statements and batch-clear at the start of the month, halving the finance workload.

Manufacturers on Large Installment Payments

Equipment purchase contracts paid in 4 installments, auto-reminded before each is due — never late, never early.

Chain Retail with Mixed Terms

Different categories on different terms (food cash-on-delivery, daily goods net 30, appliances quarterly) — the system calculates by contract automatically.

Cash-Strapped Term Negotiation

With pre-due alerts, negotiate a 15-day extension with the supplier a week ahead, avoiding overdue payments that hurt the relationship.
